Test - retest reliability of a static hand grip and pinch motor fatigability protocol in typically developing children

Abstract

In upper limb, test-retest reliability of a static maximal isometric motor fatigability protocol of grip and pinch strength was considered as highly reliable in persons with Multiple Sclerosis, using the Static Fatigue Index 3. In a pediatric population, no research has been done regarding this protocol. As a base, test-retest reliability of this protocol should be investigated in typically developing children (TDC) before further investigation in children with CP.
